Not long after the aftermath of "The Adventures of Tintin", Spielberg came again with "War Horse", which has won six Oscar nominations before it was released in the mainland, making many fans look forward to it. As soon as the film was released on the 28th, I bought a special ticket at Guevara to be the first to feast my eyes.

Without the heavy feeling of never forgetting national humiliation after watching "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", without the respect that "Braveheart" bred from the bottom of my heart, without the shocking feeling of the majestic temperament of "Kingdom of Heaven", it also made people burst into tears. . "War Horse" accuses the cruelty of war and people's desire for peace in a unique and tender way. The brilliance of humanity displayed everywhere during this period moves every moviegoer. The warmth is permeated with humor, and there are tears in the laughter. Although "War Horse" did not win the Oscar in the end, it conquered the fans with its humorous warmth.

Funny points:

1. Angry white goose. The white goose followed the farmer all the way from the courtyard to the fence, shaking its head and begging for food and biting the farmer's trousers angrily; when the farmer left to collect debts, he ran subconsciously as soon as he walked out of the gate, and then a big white goose flew Entering the picture, the game of chasing and chasing is still hot... The scene of the scene made the audience laugh. Humans have been unable to stop the angry birds, let alone a hungry goose.

2. The fear of jumping is like a tiger's horse (Joey). Racing with the car, in front of the beautiful woman, Joey and the master experience a gallop like flying, but because of a fence, the master's feet are turned upside down, causing the beautiful woman to snicker. The little girl lured Joey to learn how to jump the hurdle with food and demonstrated it in person, but after that, Joey drew a gourd to avoid the high hurdle and crossed the short stump, making him dumbfounded. This is a horse, it is clearly a cunning fox, people love it and hate it.

3. "I still need a pliers" may become a buzzword. In order to rescue the horse trapped in the wire, a soldier from England and Germany ventured out. In the chilling battlefield, the two armies facing each other, the German soldier suddenly shouted: "I still need a pliers." After five Six tools were thrown from the trenches, amusing quite a few people. I can't help but complain, if the Sino-Japanese war had such a leisurely moment, it would not have happened in the Nanjing Massacre.

Selling point:

1. The most impressive thing is Ma'er's eyes. When Ma Er and Albert get along, they are happy, helpless, or mischievous, nervous when facing an unknown future, resolute when facing difficulties, and defensive when facing danger... Smart expressions, expressive The movements of the horses set off the eyes full of spirituality, making the horses look as bloody and emotional as people. From horses to people, they show the brilliance of human nature without exception.

2. The tender details made the audience cry repeatedly. He was moved by the strength of Albert, who was plowing in the rain, and the spiritual connection he showed with Joey; the moment when Joey returned to the British army and reunited with his master after all kinds of hardships, many audiences burst into tears. The various emotions shown in the film are also one of the highlights. The love between husband and wife, love between grandparents, brotherhood, friendship in war, and love between humans and animals. The intersection of various emotions explains the main lines, and finally brings out the big theme: the brilliance of human nature. .

3. Beautiful picture, impeccable audio-visual effect. In the setting sun, Albert rode the lost and found horse back home leisurely. There is no sensational language, and there is no tear-jerking link, but it can still make people cry.

Weaknesses:

1. The beginning is tedious and the ending is abrupt. At the beginning, a large space was devoted to the process of the birth and training of the horse. Although it paved the way for the deep emotions displayed by the horse and the boy when they reunited in the later period, it was too lengthy and made the audience lose patience, which also reduced the ending. Time makes the ending abrupt. A moment ago, the two armies were still facing each other. In the blink of an eye, an officer appeared and announced the good news of an 11:00 truce. As for why the truce was stopped and which battle was won, there was no explanation at all, which made the audience very confused.

2. There is more than warmth, but the plot is not enough. The main purpose of the film is to express the brilliance of human nature, and the director did show this very well, but the supporting plot is slightly weak. With World War I as the background, the sparse battle clips during the period are a little messy and a little incoherent.

    The sensational blockbuster of the orthodox ancestry puts Joey's tenacity and his friendship with the boy Albert at the core, while also ensuring that there are enough shots to show the brutality of the war. There were laughter and tears growing up, tears spilling into the trenches on the battlefield, and the uncontrollable feeling of reunion. The backlit shot of Albert riding his warhorse home as the sun sets is very emotional. Praise Williams' soundtrack, it's so contagious.
